Project Overview

Solarpath delivered a complete solar street lighting solution for a new residential community located in the Orlando metropolitan area. The land development team required a dependable lighting system to improve safety and visibility during nighttime hours while avoiding the delays and costs associated with trenching and electrical infrastructure. The project included the installation of more than ten units of the Solar Street Light HIGH LIGHT HL ML ASL Series.

Client Profile

Client: Land developer

Sector: Residential community development

Location: Orlando, Florida

Objective: Provide safe and reliable outdoor lighting without traditional electrical infrastructure

Project Challenges

Before Solarpath was selected, the development team faced common lighting challenges on site:

 Key challenges

  • No existing electrical infrastructure
  • Safety concerns for residents and visitors during evening hours
  • Budget and timeline limitations
  • Desire to avoid trenching and underground cabling
  • Need for long term low maintenance lighting

The developer required a lighting partner that could deliver fast installation, low operating cost and strong lighting performance while staying aligned with sustainable building practices.

Solution by Solarpath

Solarpath supplied and installed the HIGH LIGHT HL ML ASL Series solar street lights to meet the project goals. These integrated units combine a solar panel, battery, smart controller and LED light engine into a single streamlined system. Each pole operates completely off grid which makes it ideal for new land developments that do not yet have full utility access.

System features

  • All in one solar street light design
  • High efficiency photovoltaic module
  • Durable battery for strong energy storage
  • Automatic dusk to dawn operation
  • Optional intelligent lighting mode
  • Suitable for outdoor environments throughout Florida

Implementation

The installation was completed over a period of two days. Because the solution does not require digging, wiring or electrical panel connections, the implementation process was straightforward. The luminaires were positioned to provide uniform light distribution along internal streets and community access points.

Scope of work

  • More than ten solar street light units installed
  • Mounted along internal roadways and entrances
  • On site testing and light distribution check
  • Immediate system operation after installation

Results

The project achieved its main goals quickly and efficiently.

Project outcomes

  • Improved safety and nighttime visibility
  • Fast installation with minimal site disruption
  • No electrical permits or trenching required
  • Clean and modern appearance
  • Reduced long term operating cost
  • Solar powered and sustainable solution
  • Low maintenance year round

Cost Efficiency and ROI

By choosing a solar lighting system, the developer avoided trenching, conduit work, underground cabling and utility connection fees. While exact savings vary by project conditions, reducing infrastructure work lowers risk and supports faster project delivery. Solar lighting also provides predictable operating costs which makes it a strong investment for long term community development.
